Abstract: A robotic mower navigation system includes a plurality of sensors on a robotic mower that detect strength and polarity of a magnetic field from an electric current through a boundary wire. An electronic control unit receives data concerning the magnetic field from the plurality of sensors as the robotic mower follows the boundary wire, tracks the data provided by the sensors, compares the data with a reference pattern that defines at least one specified feature of the boundary wire, and provides commands to the robotic mower based on the comparison. The electronic control unit may command the robotic mower to follow a second boundary wire to a remotely located charging station instead of the first boundary wire based on detected features of the boundary wire such as sharp corners or crossings.

Abstract: An anesthetic cartridge is adapted to receive a volume of buffer by displacing a plunger in one end of the anesthetic cartridge inwardly so that addition of the buffer volume will not displace the plunger excessively beyond the end of the cartridge body. The inwardly displaced end is protected by a plug or cover which prevents contamination and which is ejected when the buffer is added. The amount of buffer volume injected is selected to raise the pH of the anesthetic to a target value and to simultaneously achieve a target tonicity.

Abstract: Anesthetics and other medical solutions are stored in a cartridge including a hollow body having a needle-penetrable septum at one end and a plunger at another end. A protective plug is inserted into the open plunger end of the cartridge and protects the cartridge from contamination per use. A buffer or other material may be injected into the cartridge, causing displacement of the protective plug, allowing the cartridge to then be used in a syringe or other delivery system. The anesthetic may contain at least one solute and have an initial tonicity and an initial pH. A volume of buffer may be injected through the septum into the anesthetic, where the initial solute concentration and initial pH of the anesthetic may be selected to provide a target pH and target tonicity after the buffer is introduced.

Abstract: Implantable prosthetic valve systems and methods for implanting them are provided. Magnets are employed within one or more components of the valve systems to facilitate anchoring of the prosthetic valve at a target implant site, delivery of the prosthetic valve to the target implant site or both.

Abstract: Anastomotic components may be attached to hollow bodies or vessels by magnetic or mechanical force to create an anastomosis, form a port in a vessel, or repair a diseased vessel lumen. Anastomoses are created by coupling a first connection to an end of a vessel and then attracting it to a second connector secured to the side wall of another vessel. The connection between the first and second connectors may be solidly magnetic, solely mechanical, or a combination thereof. Also disclosed are methods and devices for treating diseased vessel lumens, for example abdominal aortic aneurysm. A plurality of docking members is attached to the vessel at solicited positions, and then one or more grafts is secured to the docking members in any suitable manner.

Abstract: Devices and methods for delivering conduits into the wall of a patient's heart to communicate a coronary vessel with a heart chamber.
